I went to the DIY store to order a new toilet.
I was asked to leave a small deposit.

Pound can be many things:
A currency - British, but also used in Egypt, Lebanon, Sudan, South Sudan, and Syria.
A weight - 1 pound is 16 ounces, around 440g
A place to keep stray dogs.
An action a policeman make take: to pound the beat.
A action you might take if you are stroppy: to pound on someone.
And a number of others: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Pound[^]

A "deposit" also means something else in this context - that's why he posted it.
It's a joke. Just. Not a good one...

That is "to help a prisoner back up the stairs"
Or in more extreme cases "to plant the gun near the body"

I think you'll find that's "to make safe the gun what he was holding tight in his hand and what he was pointing at me your honour what is why I hit him your honour begging your pardon your honour can I go now your honour Mr Winston Cudoogo is waiting to be questioned your honour"

Went to pathology 07:30 blood taken and handed over my piss jar. 13:40 tomorrow off to the Optometrist to check the eyes and sign off on all is good. Had diabetes for 15 odd years and my pescription has changed once, considering I had had glasses for 13+ years prior to diabetes one shift ain't bad.
Tomorrow evening or Thursday or Friday it's off to the Doctor to get them to sign off. I expect my 3 month sugar average to be near 10 (should be under 5.5) they'll talk insulin again, I'll tell them to f*** off, he'll give me the hypoglycemia talk, I'll tell him I always have sugary soft drink, lollies and chocolate with me to ward off low sugar comas. He'll sign the papers and then I'll say, So if my sugars off the chart, you're talking insulin why are we talking hypoglycemic sh*t and why don't you tell the Drivers License people to f***off, cause the medication I'm taking is barely keeping the sugar down to acceptable, I'm no where near a f***ing coma.

JoJo,

Something has been lost in translation I feel...

Its lost of meaning not translation I guess no one will understand its true meaning

I did actually order two toilets, yesterday.
I got a bit of a good deal, but they still insisted that I pay for number two.
